For those of us in the USA, the Dept. of Agriculture has just released an updated version of its climate-zone map. Here is a link to an article which in turn contains a link to the map itself. (Hope no one minds clicking twice.)

New USDA climate zone map reflects warming trends ? USATODAY.com

Wow I moved from 5b (-26.1 to -23.3) to 6a (-23.3 to -20.6) still ubber cold most winters. Thuis year has been most welcome, so far almost no snow, but also forsythia has already bloomed and my contorted filbert is inside since it broke bud... no leaves yet just fat green buds.

Hey Treebeard
You wouldn't happen to know what the climate-zone for NZ is would you ??
The seasons are so mixed up down here I wouldn't have a clue.
It's the middle of summer here the pic's are of last night's snow.

Wow, that's amazing. Here in California our winter weather has been all messed up. We have gotten hardly any rain other than a couple pretty good storms to give us half of our normal rainfall totals. I've never seen so many light frosty mornings. Everyday it tends to be in the low 60's and then down around the low 30's. It's so warm during the day I started repotting some trees this weekend because buds are forming and will be popping leaves soon.
